“ ń ， nǐ dào cōng míng ， yì diǎn jiù tòu ， lǎo fū shuō de ， zì rán shì bǎi huā xiān zi le ， xiān zi shì xīn yuè de shī fù ， yě shì lǎo fū de zhì jiāo hǎo yǒu ， nǐ fàng xīn ， tā yǐ chéng gōng huí dào dòng fǔ ， shāng shì yě zài zhú jiàn huī fù ， rú jīn yǒu jǐ wèi hǎo yǒu zài zhào kàn zhe ， quán yù yào huā yī xiē shí jiān ， dàn méi yǒu dà ài 。”
“嗯，你倒聪明，一点就透，老夫说的，自然是百花仙子了，仙子是新月的师傅，也是老夫的至交好友，你放心，她已成功回到洞府，伤势也在逐渐恢复，如今有几位好友在照看着，痊愈要花一些时间，但没有大碍。”
"Ah, you're quite clever. You understood it all at once. Of course, I was referring to the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers. The Fairy is the master of New Moon and also my close friend. Don't worry; she has successfully returned to her cave dwelling, and her injuries are gradually healing. A few friends are taking care of her now, so recovery will take some time, but there's no major issue."
“ zhè lín mǒu jiù fàng xīn le 。”
“这林某就放心了。”
"Then I can rest easy."
lín xuān rú cǐ zhè bān de shuō ， bù guǎn rú hé ， tā yě cóng bǎi huā xiān zi nà lǐ huò dé le jiàn líng huà xū de jué jì ， yú qíng yú lǐ ， lín xuān dāng rán xī wàng zhè wèi qián bèi huà xiǎn wéi yí 。
林轩如此这般的说，不管如何，他也从百花仙子那里获得了剑灵化虚的绝技，于情于理，林轩当然希望这位前辈化险为夷。
Lin Xuan spoke with such assurance. Regardless, he had gained the technique of Sword Spirit Sublimation from the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers. Emotionally and logically, Lin Xuan naturally hoped that this senior would turn danger into safety.
bì jìng néng gòu yǔ zhè zhǒng děng jí de cún zài pān shàng jiāo qíng kě shì hěn bù róng yì 。
毕竟能够与这种等级的存在攀上交情可是很不容易。
After all, making friends with beings at this level was no small feat.
ér lín xuān yǔ guǎng hán zhēn rén de duì huà ， què zài yí cì ， ràng zhōu wéi de lǎo guài men ， chēng mù jié shé ！
而林轩与广寒真人的对话，却再一次，让周围的老怪们，瞠目结舌！
And Lin Xuan's conversation with Broad Cold Immortal once again left the surrounding old monsters in shock!
zhè xiē qián lái dào hè de bīn kè ， dōu shì xiē dù jié jí bié de xiū xiān zhě ， shí lì néng dào zhè ge děng jí ， nǎ yí gè bú shì jīng lì liǎo wú shù de fēng fēng yǔ yǔ 。
这些前来道贺的宾客，都是些渡劫级别的修仙者，实力能到这个等级，哪一个不是经历了无数的风风雨雨。
These guests who came to offer their congratulations were cultivators of the Transcendence stage. Each one had experienced countless trials and tribulations to reach such a strength, so it should be rare for them to be surprised by something.
àn lǐ ， zǎo jiù yīng gāi tài shān bēng yú qián ér bù biàn sè 。
按理，早就应该泰山崩于前而不变色。
Normally, they would remain unperturbed even when faced with such events. However, today was an exception; surprise followed another.
píng cháng ， tā men yě què rán shì zhè yàng de ， néng ràng dù jié qī cún zài dōu chī jīng de shì qíng ， què rán bù duō 。
平常，他们也确然是这样的，能让渡劫期存在都吃惊的事情，确然不多。
The most unbelievable part was that almost all the astonishment came from one person—Lin Xuan.
rán ér fán shì dōu yǒu lì wài ， jīn tiān ， jīng yà jiù yí gè jiē zhe yí gè 。
然而凡事都有例外，今天，惊讶就一个接着一个。
If Lin Xuan were at their same level, it might have been understandable. But this young man was merely a cultivator of the Spirit Separation stage, which seemed like only a step below the Transcendence stage.
zuì bù kě sī yì de shì ， suǒ yǒu de jīng yà ， jī hū dōu shì yí gè rén dài lái de 。
最不可思议的是，所有的惊讶，几乎都是一个人带来的。
In reality, the gap between these two stages was as vast as heaven and earth. Usually, they wouldn't even spare him a glance. Yet today, his presence brought continuous shock to them!
yí gè jiào lín xuān de xiū xiān zhě 。
一个叫林轩的修仙者。
It could be said that Lin Xuan's reputation would no longer be confined to the Dragon-Subduing Realm but would spread throughout every corner of the Spirit Realm. Even the Netherworld and Demon Realm would hear about him.
rú guǒ lín xuān yě shì yǔ tā men tóng jí de cún zài yě jiù bà le 。
如果林轩也是与他们同级的存在也就罢了。
This outcome not only astonished those old monsters but also left Lin Xuan himself unprepared for it. On one hand, he was indeed superior to his peers; on the other, this result mainly came from sheer luck.
kě piān piān ， zhè lín xiǎo zi bù guò yī qū qū fēn shén qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
可偏偏，这林小子不过一区区分神期的修仙者。
But regardless, the guests present now truly looked at Lin Xuan with new eyes. Even late-stage Transcendence cultivators no longer showed any contempt towards him.
méi cuò ， fēn shén qī ， tīng zhe yǔ dù jié zhǐ chà yī jí ， rán ér bǐ cǐ jiān zhēn shí de chā jù ， què shì yǒu tiān rǎng zhī bié dì 。
没错，分神期，听着与渡劫只差一级，然而彼此间真实的差距，却是有天壤之别地。
First, Broad Cold Immortal personally welcomed him and called him brother or friend. Then, he recognized both Broad Cold Immortal's daughter and Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox's disciple.
píng rì lǐ ， yī fēn shén qī xiū xiān zhě ， tā men lián kàn dōu bú huì kàn yī xià ， rán ér jīn tiān zhè xiǎo jiā huo ， gěi tā men dài lái de zhèn hàn ， què shì jiē lián bù duàn a ！
平日里，一分神期修仙者，他们连看都不会看一下，然而今天这小家伙，给他们带来的震撼，却是接连不断啊！
No, it wasn't just recognition; the daughter of Broad Cold Immortal addressed him as her big brother, suggesting a deep bond. As for the beloved disciple of the ruler of Qingqiu Kingdom, she seemed to be in a romantic relationship with this guy.
kě yǐ zhè yàng shuō ， jīn tiān guò hòu ， lín xuān de wēi míng ， jiāng bù jǐn jǐn jú xiàn yú nài lóng jiè ， ér shì jiāng chuán biàn líng jiè de měi yí gè jiǎo luò 。 shèn zhì lián yīn sī jiè yǔ mó jiè dū huì tīng shuō 。
可以这样说，今天过后，林轩的威名，将不仅仅局限于鼐龙界，而是将传遍灵界的每一个角落。甚至连阴司界与魔界都会听说。
Now, from Broad Cold Immortal himself, everyone learned that Lin Xuan even knew the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers.
rú cǐ jié guǒ ， bù zhǐ nà xiē dù jié qī lǎo guài jīng è ， qí shí lín xuān zì jǐ ， dōu wán quán méi yǒu yù xiǎng dào de 。
如此结果，不止那些渡劫期老怪惊愕，其实林轩自己，都完全没有预想到的。
Who was the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers?
yì fāng miàn ， shì tā què shí shèng guò tóng jiē xiū xiān zhě ， dàn lìng yì fāng miàn ， huì zào chéng rú jīn zhè yàng de jié guǒ ， zhǔ yào hái shì jī yuán qiǎo hé 。
一方面，是他确实胜过同阶修仙者，但另一方面，会造成如今这样的结果，主要还是机缘巧合。
She was also a late-stage Transcendence powerhouse. Her technique of Sword Spirit Sublimation was incredibly powerful; perhaps her fame was slightly less than that of scattered immortals and demon kings, but compared to Dragon-Subduing Immortal, she might be on par with him.
dàn bù guǎn rú hé 。 zài chǎng de bīn kè 。 shì zhēn duì lín xuān guā mù xiāng kàn le ， rú jīn nǎ pà shì dù jié hòu qī de cún zài ， duì tā 。 yě zài méi yǒu yī sī qīng shì zhī sè 。
但不管如何。在场的宾客。是真对林轩刮目相看了，如今哪怕是渡劫后期的存在，对他。也再没有一丝轻视之色。
Wait, what did they just say? The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers had been injured?
xiān shì nài lóng zhēn rén qīn yíng ， yǔ qí chēng xiōng dào dì ， jiē zhe 。 tā jū rán yòu tóng shí rèn shí guǎng hán zhēn rén de nǚ ér yǔ jiǔ wěi tiān hú de ài tú 。
先是鼐龙真人亲迎，与其称兄道弟，接着。他居然又同时认识广寒真人的女儿与九尾天狐的爱徒。
And the injuries seemed quite severe.
bú duì ， bú shì rèn shí zhè me jiǎn dān ， guǎng hán zhēn rén de nǚ ér jiào tā dà gē ， liǎng rén sì hū yǒu yì jié jīn lán ， zhì yú qīng qiū guó zhǔ de ài tú ， zé gèng lí pǔ ， yǔ zhè jiā huo ， sì hū shì qíng lǚ lái zhe 。
不对，不是认识这么简单，广寒真人的女儿叫他大哥，两人似乎有义结金兰，至于青丘国主的爱徒，则更离谱，与这家伙，似乎是情侣来着。
How could this be possible?
ér xiàn zài cóng guǎng hán zhēn rén de zuǐ lǐ ， dà jiā yòu dé dào le yí gè xiāo xī 。 zhè jiā huo ， lián bǎi huā xiān zi yě rèn shí 。
而现在从广寒真人的嘴里，大家又得到了一个消息。这家伙，连百花仙子也认识。
In all three realms, only a few beings were capable of harming the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers. Although there were some undercurrents between the realms today, the Spirit Realm and Demon Realm, as well as the Spirit Realm and Netherworld, had not yet clashed. So who could have injured her?
bǎi huā xiān zi hé xǔ rén yě ？
百花仙子何许人也？
And how did this connection with Lin Xuan come about?
tóng yàng shì dù jié hòu qī de dà néng rén wù ， yī shǒu jiàn líng huà xū shén miào yǐ jí ， bǐ zhī sàn xiān yāo wáng de míng qì huò xǔ shāo chà yī xiē ， dàn hé nài lóng zhēn rén xiāng bǐ ， kǒng pà yě shì xiāng chā wú jǐ 。
同样是渡劫后期的大能人物，一手剑灵化虚神妙以极，比之散仙妖王的名气或许稍差一些，但和鼐龙真人相比，恐怕也是相差无几。
Late-stage Transcendence battles were so intense that few guests present could even intervene. Yet Broad Cold Immortal mentioned that this young man played a crucial role.
děng děng ， gāng cái liǎng rén de duì huà shuō le xiē shén me 。 bǎi huā xiān zi shòu shāng le ？
等等，刚才两人的对话说了些什么。百花仙子受伤了？
Was he joking? Could he really be that powerful?
ér qiě shāng shì ， sì hū hái bù qīng de yàng zi 。
而且伤势，似乎还不轻的样子。
If anyone else said such things, the old monsters would dismiss it as nonsense. But who was speaking now?
zhè zěn me kě néng ne ？
这怎么可能呢？
Broad Cold Immortal—legendary among the scattered immortals.
fàng yǎn sān jiè ， néng gòu shāng hài dào bǎi huā xiān zi de cún zài qū zhǐ kě shǔ ， ér rú jīn ， sān jiè zhī jiān 。 suī yǒu yī xiē àn cháo xiōng yǒng ， dàn líng jiè yǔ mó jiè 。 líng jiè yǔ yīn sī jiè zhī jiān ， bìng méi yǒu bào fā chōng tū ， bǎi huā xiān zi ， huì shì shāng dào shéi de shǒu zhōng 。
放眼三界，能够伤害到百花仙子的存在屈指可数，而如今，三界之间。虽有一些暗潮汹涌，但灵界与魔界。灵界与阴司界之间，并没有爆发冲突，百花仙子，会是伤到谁的手中。
Such an existence couldn't possibly speak nonsense; every word carried weight.
ér qiě zěn me yòu huì yǔ yǎn qián zhè xìng lín de xiǎo zi chě shàng guān xì le ？
而且怎么又会与眼前这姓林的小子扯上关系了？
Everyone present had no doubt about this.
dù jié hòu qī de bó dòu ， biàn zài zài chǎng de hè kè ， yě jí shǎo yǒu rén néng gòu chā shàng shǒu ， kě tīng guǎng hán zhēn rén de yán yǔ ， zhè lín xiǎo zi ， sì hū qǐ dào le fēi tóng xiǎo kě de zuò yòng 。
渡劫后期的搏斗，便在在场的贺客，也极少有人能够插上手，可听广寒真人的言语，这林小子，似乎起到了非同小可的作用。
Lin Xuan naturally received their renewed respect.
yǒu méi yǒu gǎo cuò ， tā yǒu zhè me lì hài me ？
有没有搞错，他有这么厉害么？
Just when one shock was subsiding, Broad Cold Immortal's voice came again.
rú guǒ shì qí tā rén zhè yàng shuō ， zài chǎng de lǎo guài wù kěn dìng shì bù yǐ wéi rán ， rèn wéi nà jiā huo tóu nǎo chū cuò ， zài zhè lǐ hú yán luàn yǔ bà le 。
如果是其他人这样说，在场的老怪物肯定是不以为然，认为那家伙头脑出错，在这里胡言乱语罢了。
"The Fairy of a Hundred Flowers said that day, it was your timely help that saved her. She couldn't properly thank you then. If I met you, I could have thanked or taken care of you on her behalf."
rán ér yǎn qián ， shuō zhè huà de shì shuí ？
然而眼前，说这话的是谁？
Broad Cold Immortal relayed the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers' words. The woman truly felt grateful towards Lin Xuan. In her view, the Sword Spirit Sublimation technique he needed was useless to him, so she had always felt guilty about it. At that time, she was severely injured and couldn't give him any more treasures, so she entrusted several friends to take care of this young man if they met him.
guǎng hán zhēn rén 。
广寒真人。
Broad Cold Immortal's daughter, having become a disciple under the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers, naturally had a close relationship with her. Thus, this scattered immortal was one of those friends she trusted.
chuán shuō zhōng de sān dà sàn xiān zhī yī 。
传说中的三大散仙之一。
Lin Xuan modestly replied, "Haha, Senior Fairy is too kind. I merely happened to be there by chance and did not exert much effort. The Fairy has already bestowed benefits upon me, which more than compensate for my help that day. One cannot be greedy; please convey this message to the Fairy on my behalf."
zhè yàng de cún zài zěn me kě néng hú yán luàn yǔ ， nà kěn dìng shì yì yán jiǔ dǐng dì 。
这样的存在怎么可能胡言乱语，那肯定是一言九鼎地。
His response left the guests speechless, muttering that he must have a problem with his brain.
zhè yì diǎn ， zài chǎng de měi yí gè rén ， dōu bú huì yǒu fēn háo huái yí 。
这一点，在场的每一个人，都不会有分毫怀疑。
Broad Cold Immortal was offering him benefits, and yet, this young man refused? Wasn't he crazy?
duì yú lín xuān ， zì rán shì guā mù xiāng kàn 。
对于林轩，自然是刮目相看。
Scattered immortals' treasures were not ordinary items. Even for late-stage Transcendence cultivators like them, these gifts would be immensely helpful. This young man's refusal seemed foolish.
zhè biān zhèn jīng hái méi yǒu wán ， lìng yī cè ， guǎng hán zhēn rén de shēng yīn yòu chuán rù ěr biān 。
这边震惊还没有完，另一侧，广寒真人的声音又传入耳边。
But they didn’t know that Lin Xuan had his reasons.
“ bǎi huā xiān zi shuō ， nà tiān duō kuī nǐ yuán shǒu ， biàn qǐ cāng cù ， tā yě méi yǒu néng gòu hǎo hǎo xiè nǐ ， ruò shì lǎo fū yǔ nǐ xiāng yù ， kě yǐ dài tā gǎn xiè huò shì zhào fú nǐ yī èr de 。”
“百花仙子说，那天多亏你援手，变起仓促，她也没有能够好好谢你，若是老夫与你相遇，可以代她感谢或是照拂你一二的。”
Who wouldn't want more treasures? Especially when they came from a scattered immortal.
guǎng hán zhēn rén zhuǎn shù bǎi huā xiān zi de yán yǔ ， cǐ nǚ duì lín xuān shì zhēn de gǎn jī ， zài tā kàn lái ， lín xuān yào de jiàn líng huà xū gōng fǎ gēn běn jiù méi yǒu yòng tú ， suǒ yǐ xīn zhōng yì zhí pǒ yǒu diǎn kuì jiù de ， zhǐ shì dāng shí ， tā shāng shì yán zhòng ， suǒ yǐ yě lái bù jí zài zèng sòng lín xuān shén me bǎo wù ， suǒ yǐ cái tuō fù jǐ wèi hǎo yǒu ， ruò shì jiàn dào lín xiǎo zi ， duō duō tí diǎn zhào fú 。
广寒真人转述百花仙子的言语，此女对林轩是真的感激，在她看来，林轩要的剑灵化虚功法根本就没有用途，所以心中一直颇有点愧疚的，只是当时，她伤势严重，所以也来不及再赠送林轩什么宝物，所以才托付几位好友，若是见到林小子，多多提点照拂。
If possible, he wanted to accept them. However, the treasure was too precious and could only be obtained by slaying an outer realm celestial monarch, which was beyond the capabilities of Spirit Separation stage cultivators, let alone early or mid-stage Transcendence cultivators.
"Ah, you're quite clever. You understood it all at once. Of course, I was referring to the Fairy of a Hundred Flowers. The Fairy is the master of New Moon and also my close friend. Don't worry; she has successfully returned to her cave dwelling, and her injuries are gradually healing.
